With other receivers from his draft class landing lucrative deals, the Giants star is out to prove he deserves a long-term contract.
The star receiver ran smoothly and without a limp before spending the rest of practice watching from the sideline.

Alex Anzalone Jersey He can’t fully compete yet, [but] he gets a chance to see it, Shurmur said. And there is a lot to be learned by watching. It’s good to have him here.

The only notable Giants player who did not attend Monday’s voluntary OTA was veteran defensive tackle Damon Harrison. Shurmur said Harrison has been at the facility some this offseason and he knew why Harrison wasn’t there this week.

Detlef Schrempf Elite Jersey Anyway, the impressive thing with that swing was staying back on the breaking ball from the left side of the plate. The switch-hitting Albies always has been much better from the right side. In the minors last year, he had a .956 OPS from the right side and .730 from the left side. He’s crushed lefties so far in 2018 with a .407 average and five home runs in 54 at-bats. But from the left side he’s now at a Joe Mullen Womens Jersey respectable .242/.301/.503.

So the question of the moment: Which young second baseman do you like the most? You know, if you had to choose one or your dog would run away, or if you’re starting a team from scratch and can pick only one, or just because it’s a fun question to contemplate. Torres is just 25 days older, so we’re talking two 21-year-olds who are going to make a lot of All-Star teams in their careers.

Since I love my dogs, I’ll make a choice and go with Torres. Two things I like from him so far: He has a little more patient approach than Albies and I think that eventually turns into higher OBPs, and his defense looks great at second base (plus-5 defensive runs saved already). When I was in Yankee camp in spring training, the team raved about his hands and instincts on defense, plus his arm strength. He can play shortstop, and he’s at second base only because the Yankees have Didi Gregorius, but Torres could eventually end up back at shortstop. For now, we have a great debate brewing. Who do you have?

The Golden State Warriors, led by guard Stephen Curry, meet the Houston Rockets, led by guards James Harden and Chris Paul, in Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs, best-of-seven Western Conference Finals on Monday, May 14, 2018 (5/14/18) at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.Limited Kids Jared Crick Jersey
Everybody always wants to point out me and James, but he’s the X-factor, Paul said.

Houston is 50-5 this season in games where all three have played, and during the regular season the Rockets outscored their opponents in those games by an average of 11.5 points.

It’s a must that you have to have (someone like him) against Golden State or they’re going to get you, he said.

This will help. They’re still going to get us to Cody Hodgson Jersey a certain degree, but hopefully we can lessen it more than if we just had a traditional center that can’t guard on the perimeter.

With Donald Penn on the roster, it would make sense for Oakland to start Miller at right tackle. However, Raiders head coach Jon Gruden sounds as if he wants to give him a shot to beat out Penn on the left side of the line.

That’s where he has recently played, Gruden said of Miller, per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com. We like him at left tackle.

The problem with starting Miller at left tackle is he isn’t athletic enough to make up for his NFL inexperience. Miller isn’t a high-upside prospect, and he isn’t going to be a high-level player early on, either.

His tape tells you exactly who he is, one AFC scout said of Miller, per Zierlein. He’s big and he’s got decent length, but he’s an average athlete and he will always be up and down depending on the guy across from him. I think he’ll start, but I don’t see anything special.

Rasul Douglas saw significant time on the field as a rookie, but the team drafted Sidney Jones in the second round of the same draft with plans for him to eventually lead the secondary. At his pro day, he suffered a聽torn Achilles聽that nearly kept him out an entire year. The Washington product only took 29 snaps in the season finale against the Cowboys.聽

As seen in the following screenshot courtesy of Sporting News, Ramsey tweeted, That’s a pick waiting to happen, in response to a tweet by the Bills showing Allen throwing at rookie minicamp:

The Bills selected Allen with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft in hopes of developing him into a franchise signal-caller.

Boehm sits behind Mike Iupati and Justin Pugh on the guard depth chart, and it wouldn’t make financial sense for the Cardinals to cut either one. Pugh just signed a five-year, $45 million deal in March. While Iupati played only one game last year due to a triceps injury, he has $8.4 million of guaranteed money remaining on his contract.

As someone who was falsely accused of this very serious charge over 22 years ago, and never given the opportunity to defend myself and clear my name, I find it incredibly unfair, disappointing, and frustrating that this story would resurface now with the only purpose being to damage my character and reputation, Patricia said in the statement, which was released by the team. I firmly maintain my innocence, as I have always done.

I would never condone any of the behavior that was alleged and will always respect and protect the rights of anyone who has been harassed or is the victim of violence. My priorities remain the same to move forward and strive to be the best coach, teacher, and man that I can possibly be.

Patricia and a friend and former college teammate, Greg Dietrich, were charged but never prosecuted for aggravated sexual assault during a spring break trip to Texas in 1996.

According to records in Cameron County Circuit Court, Patricia was indicted in August of 1996. The case was dismissed five months later, in January of 1997.

Authentic Claudio Reyna Jersey I think I’ll be able to go, he said. I think we’ll be smart about it. I think I’m going to go out there and do what I need to do.
He will rejoin the Red Sox on Thursday, and he could return to the rotation for his next start as early as Saturday. Red Sox Manager Alex Cora聽called the diagnosis good news after Price went through a battery of tests.

Gronkowski is on the books for a base salary of $8 million this coming season.

In the 12-page filing, Richardson and Yanagi say they both went to Lions’ human resources in December with complaints 鈥?Richardson claiming an employee in the scouting department made racist comments, and claiming disparate treatment by an employee in the operations department, and Yanagi claiming general manager Bob Quinn treated him differently because of his race.

The two men were fired the following month. The men claim the reason they were given was that all of the coaches wanted them fired.

Richardson’s last employe evaluation earned him a score of 2.8 out of 5, with one coach scoring him 1, the lowest, in every category, Richardson claimed.

Authentic Cedric Ogbuehi Jersey Who’s next: Donald is the NFL’s reigning defensive player of the year and a first-team all-pro each of the past three seasons. He’s been angling for his payday since last year, when Philip Rivers Jersey his training camp holdout caused him to miss the regular-season opener. Loaded with cap space in 2019, it’s basically a foregone conclusion the Rams will soon make Donald, who’s set to hit free agency after this season, the best-compensated defensive player in league history.

The Jaguars signed three more draft picks, including sixth-round pick Tanner Lee.
It’s incredible, Lee said, via quotes distributed by the team. It just motivates me to continue to do what I’ve always done and continue to set goals for myself. It definitely made it feel more real. I didn’t know to expect, or what I was going to feel, but that was a big-time, goal-of-mine, dream-come-true moment. Those are always good.

The thing you know about those Alabama guys is that football is important to them, Harbaugh said. They understand the value of competing every day at practice and working hard in the offseason. They understand pressure and that you have to do things right, that there is a line and you can’t go below it if you want to be successful and be on the field.

They know everything is earned. I don’t think they come in with any sort of entitlement. To me, that’s a credit to coach Saban.

Limited Kids Paul Martin Jersey Saban established a track record of grooming NFL talent during previous head coaching stints at Luc Mbah a Moute Youth jersey Michigan State and LSU, but since returning to the college ranks after his time with the Dolphins, Saban has created a factory that runs with as much efficiency as that of the Mercedes-Benz plant located on the outskirts of Tuscaloosa.

The Eagles’ first regular-season game is on September 6, so if he’s fully recovered on the most optimistic side of that 4-6 month estimate, he’d be healed just three days before the season opener. That makes it seem likely that he’ll miss at least part of the regular season.

Last year Jernigan started every regular season game except the Eagles’ meaningless Week 17 game, and he started all three postseason games as well.

Jernigan signed a four-year, $48 million contract extension in November, but the low guarantees on the contract mean he’s not necessarily safe in Philadelphia for long.

As Bauer raises his profile by pitching better on the mound, he’s straying from his cocoon and embracing his surroundings off it. Throwing a baseball is the same solitary pursuit that it has always been. But on the four days between starts, it’s comforting for Bauer to know he’s no longer on an island.Limited Kids Gordie Howe Jersey
The numbers are a testament to Bauer’s professional growth. He made strides last year, with a career-high 10.0 strikeouts per nine innings, a 3.2 WAR and 17 wins — a number he dismisses as totally irrelevant. Entering Wednesday night’s start against Jon Lester and the Cubs at Progressive Field, Bauer is rolling along with a 2.67 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, .622 OPS against and 27 strikeouts in his first 20 innings.

Soon after, Green was a regular with the Relief Gang on off days, doing everything from unloading supplies at a warehouse the city temporarily allowed them to use, to meeting with families in need and working with the Rockets to secure corporate assistance from companies such as Rooms To Go.
Allen, 28, has missed six games in the two seasons he has played in Houston since the Texans signed him to a four-year, $28 million deal. He has dealt with concussion and ankle injuries.

He spent four seasons with the Chiefs before leaving for the Texans鈥?free agent offer in the 2016 offseason.Elite Kids Patric Hornqvist Jersey
Zach Fulton and Senio Kelemete are options as the starting guards if the Texans decide to part ways with Allen.

Seeger investigated these arrangements, which he called predatory, and last October he drew up a list of 15 firms he wanted the court that is overseeing the Doug Gilmour Authentic Jersey settlement to ban from striking deals with the plaintiffs. In December, Judge Anita Brody of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, who is presiding over the case, agreed with Seeger’s argument. She voided any agreements that assigned monetary claims to a third party; three companies have appealed that decision.

The team announced the signings of nine of their 11 draft picks Friday morning, including first-round guard Quenton Nelson, the sixth overall pick.

Wade Phillips has seen a lot in his more than 40 years coaching in the NFL. Phillips, 70, has coached in the NFL longer than Sean McVay, 32, has been alive.

Phillips enters his second season with the Rams, the 10th team he has coached for since beginning his career under his father, Bum Phillips, in 1976.

“They say I’m old, but it doesn’t get old to me,” Phillips told Myles Simmons of the team website. “I’m looking forward to it.”

“The challenge I think for the officials sometimes is some of these hits are bang-bang,” Payton said. “We’ve seen that in the secondary and then you go back in the hits in the shoulder pad area. I don’t think it will be something that we will be looking at in the 20s or 30s. I think when the season’s over with that number will be smaller than most think. . . . Specifically there’s a timing element where it’s not bang-bang. But where I’ve got time here and I’ve continued to keep my head down here in this position. That’s where you run the risk of ejection.”

While that helps address concerns that the changes to the game will be significant, the fact remains that Competition Committee chairman Rich McKay has said that the changes will indeed be significant. If it’s too significant, fans and players will make their displeasure known. And if the question of when a flag will be thrown becomes too amorphous, many will argue that the officials have too much discretion to alter a game — especially with legalized gambling on the horizon.

The Cowboys definitely remain in search of safety help.

The Cowboys moved free safety Byron Jones to cornerback this offseason. Chidobe Awuzie, whom they drafted in the second round last year with the idea of playing him at safety, remains at cornerback after making six starts there as a rookie.

That leaves Xavier Woods as the starter at free safety . . . and the Cowboys looking for additional help.

“Absolutely. I mean, we don’t ever quit looking in terms of player acquisition,” Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said. “One of the things that is unique is, when you have players with versatility, it probably makes you feel a little better.

Moritz Boehringer is getting a second shot in the NFL.Authentic Kids Adam Humphries Jersey This draft feels befitting of outgoing GM Ozzie Newsome’s Lombardi-plated legacy. Yes, major gamble taking QB Lamar Jackson, but it could pay off in spades 鈥?and may as well get that fifth-year option with a roll of the dice like this after聽Newsome deftly worked back into the end of Round 1. Hayden Hurst, a former minor league pitcher who may be more accurate right now than Jackson (57% completion rate at Louisville), and Mark Andrews form a nifty tight end duo that should pay immediate dividends to Joe Flacco and to Jackson eventually. Third-round T Orlando Brown and fifth-round WR Jordan Lasley are classic risk-reward types. And nice to see Newsome get two more players from his alma mater, fourth-round Alabama CB Anthony Averett and sixth-round C Bradley Bozeman.

Must admire GM Brandon Beane’s aggressiveness in his first draft, as he completed his weeks-long trek up the Ra’Shede Hageman Jersey board to get Wyoming QB Josh Allen at No. 7 before dealing up a second time Thursday night for Virginia Tech LB Tremaine Edmunds at No. 16. Both have massive ceilings聽but should be afforded the patience to develop. Third-round DT Harrison Phillips will become a fan favorite (he somehow managed to make 103 tackles last year from a position not known for staggering numbers). However will Beane regret not doing more to replace retired linemen Eric Wood and Richie Incognito?

No. 2 overall pick Saquon Barkley leads the way among聽draft picks after going to the New York Giants, followed by a handful of top-10 picks. However, there is a fifth-round pick among the best-selling jerseys.

Shaquem Griffin, the former UCF linebacker with one hand who was taken with the No. 141 overall pick.

Nobody on that list should surprise fans. Three of the top four were picked by teams that call New York home (even if two technically play in New Jersey), and the other was the No. 1 overall pick and reigning Heisman Trophy winner. As for Griffin, he has won plenty of fans with his story聽and has everyone rooting for him.Womens James Reimer Jersey
Rudolph is the highest QB selected by Pittsburgh since Big Ben’s ascendance. Does that make it Roethlisberger’s responsibility to tutor the young thrower?

You know he’s able to play, Big Ben said of Rudolph. Anytime you get guys to come in, you can try to teach him a little bit, it’s a good thing. I’ll do whatever I can to help. I did that with Landry and try to help Dobbs as much as I can. Landry does a great job at that, he did it last year with Dobbs. It’s kind of the backup’s role.

With Roethlisberger still performing at a Pro Bowl level, the Steelers veteran’s leash deserves to be very long in Pittsburgh, but the real question is how long will he be able to hold off Rudolph?

Adding him to one of the top offensive lines and best offenses in the league will make things very difficult on opposing defenses. He’ll be able to crack heads as a blocker and then go out and torch defenses off play action.
To me, this pick comes down to Chark or Ohio State cornerback Denzel Ward. It wouldn’t hurt to have another downfield playmaker, but that doesn’t fit Blake Bortles’ strengths. I also don’t believe receiver will be a priority for executive vice president Tom Coughlin.

For me, the closest thing to a need for Jacksonville is nickel corner, as the team lost Aaron Colvin during the offseason. This is where Ward comes into play. Ward isn’t my favorite corner in this class, but that’s a reflection on the quality of this corner class and not necessarily a negative on Ward.

Bryant, meanwhile, has been left to twist in the wind, hoping the Giants have a change of heart in the coming weeks. At this point, Rapoport reported earlier Wednesday, the Cowboys ‘ career leader in receiving touchdowns is expected to wait until after the draft before finding a new NFL home.

The Oilers also named Jay Woodcroft coach of the Bakersfield Condors, Edmonton’s AHL affiliate.

He checks the boxes in terms of being a three-down back 鈥?but then, when you look a little bit deeper, and you see the size, the agility, the passion that he plays with, the charisma off the field 鈥?all these things lead you to a guy that is a franchise-type player, for a long time, 10-12 years we’re talking, Tomlinson told The Post.

If I could go back in time, I would never have done this in a heartbeat, Allen told Chris Mortensen of ESPN. At the time, I obviously didn’t know how harmful it was and now has become.

Ravens (from Titans) 鈥?Hayden Hurst, TE, South Carolina:聽Outgoing GM Ozzie Newsome, a Hall of Fame tight end himself, makes Hurst the first tight end off the board this year.
